Car Time:Updating onroad temporal profiles Alexis Zubrow1, Chris Allen2, and James Beidler2 1. EPA OAQPS and Region 1; 2. CSC
Temporal profile overview • What do temporal profiles do? • Generally: • distribute emissions annual -> month, month -> day, day -> hour • the “when” of emissions • Onroad (i.e. SMOKE-MOVES): • distribute vehicle miles traveled (VMT) from month-> day, day->hour • impacts rate-per-distance (RPD) processes, i.e. emissions from on-network • impacts total emissions: how much VMT vs what is the temperature at a specific hour • Problem: previous onroad diurnal profiles vary by road only
2011NEI and MOVES • 2011NEI: first time EIS accepted MOVES inputs • 32 S/L/T provided MOVES inputs for 2011NEI v1 • Individual submissions consisted of series of county databases (CDBs) • Each CDB consisted of set of tables • e.g. VMT, VPOP, speed distributions, age distributions, I/M programs, etc. • dayvmtfraction – distribution VMT within week • hourvmtfraction – distribution VMT within day • Not all tables were updated by S/L/T
2011NEI and MOVES (cont) • Data mining opportunity • 1,363 CDBs • 1,839,097 hrvmtfraction records (non default) • 1,013,853 dayvmtfraction records (non default) • Flagged “bad” profiles • Consolidated duplicate profiles • 627,550 day profiles • 89,304 hour profiles • Developed scripts to average across various dimensions and to create LOTS of plots • Focused on diurnal profiles • Day of week profiles were unchanged
Road type and SCC SMOKE MOVES 1-to-many mapping SCCs have more road types, but may not be useful to differentiate to this level
Source type and SCC MOVES SMOKE • many-to-many mapping • Overlapping definitions source type (MOVES sourceTypeID) and vehicle type (SMOKE SCC7) • Complicates comparison of MOVES and SMOKE temporal profiles • Plan to revise SCCs for MOVES2013 to make mapping 1-to-1

Dimensions of variation • Previous diurnal profiles varied across road type and day only • MOVES based profiles could vary across: • Vehicle type • Road type • Day (weekday vs weekend) • County
Using S/L/T profiles • When should we use submitted profiles for “self”? • Criteria: • At least as much variability as the previous SMOKE profiles • Vary by road type and/or vehicle type • Minor transformation from MOVES • Averaging over source type to get SCC7 (SMOKE vehicle type) • NJ example: • Varies by county, road, and vehicle (for most counties) • Doesn’t vary by weekday/weekend • Used county specific profiles for all weekday profiles
Profiles for “the rest” • What should we do for states that didn’t submit or for S/L/T that didn’t satisfy our criteria? • Options: • Use historic SMOKE profiles • Map counties to similar counties • Develop national profiles from subset of S/L/T profiles
National profiles: overview • Using S/L/T profiles to create national profiles • Criteria: • Varies by road • Varies by vehicle • May or may not vary by county • Treat weekday and weekend separately • Process: • Develop state average profile by vehicle/road/weekday or weekend • Average state profiles to develop national profiles
National profiles: overview It’s like cooking…
National profiles: state averages NJ, average HHDDV urban restricted, weekday PA, average HHDDV urban restricted, weekday
National profiles: weekday example National LDGV urban restricted, weekday National HHDDV urban restricted, weekday
National profiles: weekend example National LDGV urban restricted, weekend National HHDDV urban restricted, weekend
Future work • AQ sensitivities • For later versions of 2011 platform • Outreach to S/L/T on specific questions about submissions • 2011 NEI v2: • Outreach to S/L/T on potential uses of MOVES inputs • Specific outreach to update temporal related tables • Incorporate temporal profiles from specific studies • For 2014 platform • New SCCs simplify process (MOVES 2013) • Continue with outreach to S/L/T on need for this data
